This holiday season, Darcy - one of our very thoughtful and talented campers — has shared with us her experiences at Camp Promise and some tips and tricks to have a great week at camp! In this time of giving and being with the ones that mean the most, we are so thankful for our campers like Darcy, their families, and our volunteers and partners for making Camp Promise such a special place. Happy Holidays from all of us at Camp Promise and Jett Foundation!

We take our staff ratios very seriously and know they play a huge role in keeping our campers comfortable and engaged, our counselors supported, and our fun levels at their highest. They impact staff and campers alike, so whether you’re a camper, counselor, parent, or any other staff member, read on! (Warning: a review of fractions and some easy math MAY be encountered below.)

It’s definitely fall and if you’re anything like us, we’ve got a case of the post-camp blues. We’re sure you’ve heard of these and have most likely experienced them yourself. They can hit like a wrecking ball and can linger for days, weeks, and months after camp. So, here’s some tried and true tips and tricks to help you combat those pesky post-camp blues!

Check out this guest post by Jenna Dwy, CP2018 Intern: Wow! It’s hard to believe that summer has finally come to an end and with it, my internship with Camp Promise. It was a dynamic summer full of new ideas, projects, friends, teammates, and a better version of myself.

It’s hard to believe it’s already been a month since we were all together at CPW2018. Our 10th Birthday year set the bar pretty high for other milestone years, but it’s a challenge we’re ready to take on. For those of you who weren’t there (and those of you who were), we thought it would be fun to take a look back at the week and what made it so special.

Can you believe it’s already been over a week since we all gathered at Camp Promise-Rockies in Georgetown, CO? Now that we’ve all done laundry, slept in our own beds, and had our favorite foods again, it’s time to reflect on another successful session of camp.

Camp Promise is giving back and we’ll be hosting a food drive at Camp Promise-West this summer. We have been the beneficiary of so much support over the years and we invite you to join us in paying it forward!

If you're wondering whether campers can bring their service dogs to Camp Promise, the answer is generally yes! We've had lots of service dogs on duty at camp in the past and have six (6) recommendations for those who want to bring their dog along.

Camp Promise-East 2018 was nothing short of extraordinary! It was so much fun to see old friends and meet lots of new faces. The whole week felt like one big exclamation mark because the energy was high and everyone's spirit soared all week long.
